Bruce Dickinson explains, "'El Dorado' is a preview of the forthcoming studio album. As we will be including it in the set of our Final Frontier World Tour (opening in Dallas tonight) we thought it would be great to thank all our fans and get them into The Final Frontier mood by giving them this song up front of the tour and album release."

The full tracklisting for the album is: 'Satellite 15... The Final Frontier' 'El Dorado' 'Mother Of Mercy' 'Coming Home' 'The Alchemist' 'Isle Of Avalon' 'Starblind' 'The Talisman' 'The Man Who Would Be King' 'When The Wild Wind Blows'.

I miss the classic artwork, but it is cool all the same^^ I hope the single isn't a precursor to the whole album...it reminds me of Angel and the Gambler for some reason. I like it, but it doesn't make me want to blast it and drive around like a looney.

Yesterday Iron Maiden announced a free advanced download of a track from their upcoming record The Final Frontier. The track, El Dorado is the second to appear on the album slated for release August 16 worldwide.
